Hansen Named SBC Women's Golfer of the Year

Conway -
Coastal Carolina University’s Malene Krolboll Hansen capped off the 2016-17 women’s golf season being named the Sun Belt Conference Women’s Golfer of the Year.

The award was announced by the Sun Belt office after a vote of the league’s head coaches.

It’s another award in a long list for the Taastrup, Denmark native. She began her career as the 2015 Big South Freshman of the Year and was named to the All-Big South First Team and All-Big South Tournament Team as both a freshman and sophomore.

As the Chanticleers moved into the Sun Belt Conference this season, Hansen’s play did not change. She received several Sun Belt Golfer of the Week honors and while finishing up the best season in the history of the women’s golf program, she was named to the 2017 All-Sun Belt Conference First Team as well as the Sun Belt Conference All-Tournament team.
